Hello like-minded people!

I joined this forum because it is the only one--as far as I know--that incorporates conversation but also helps you with your math problems. It seems to welcome beginners like me. In any case, let me now formally introduce myself. My name is Stephanie. I'm 16 and in 11th grade.I like mornings. I like bicycle rides. I have spent most of my lifetime sitting down and daydreaming in desks of all shapes and sizes and doing nothing else. I am curious to find out the highest math I am capable of doing in my lifetime. I would like to pursue math because math is pretty much the basis of everything. If you look deep enough, you will find math in everything and I would love to have that ability. I would love to dwell as deep as possible and always have some thoughts with me that can entertain me.Why do you like math?

Re: Hello like-minded people!

I do not know why, I just love it.

hi Stephanie

Welcome to the forum.

Why do I like maths?

It's part of a larger desire to understand things. When I got my first bike (second hand) the first thing I did with it was to take it apart to find out how all the bits worked. My Dad went mad as he thought I'd wasted his money. But I showed him it was not, by putting it all back together, adjusting everything properly, and riding it away! And I like to understand eclipses, why sunflowers have a spiralling seed-head, how computers work, why Pythagoras' theorem is true, ...............................

Morning isn't my favourite time because I don't properly wake up until after 10am. As it's only 8.30 here in the UK, all I have just written may be a load of rubbish. Hhhhm. Does that include the last sentence?

Welcome to the forum!

You are correct in thinking that this is the only forum which provides mathematical (and scientific) help alongside a social aspect. Many other forums have a separate section for socializing, but even those are heavily moderated (I do not mean that this forum is not secure, it is. It just does not have ridiculous rules).
